Question

I AM A WOMAN. DO I HAVE TO COVER MY HAIR AND ALL THE BODY TO RECITE QURAAN ?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Women are not obliged to cover their hair or their enitre body before reciting the Quran.

Allaah knows best.
